Description
Many embedded systems don't have RTC, so they need to use external time source like NTP.
When large jump in system time happens (for example after ntpdate or settimedate() execution), nginx closes all connections with timeout error.
Just a few lines from device's log when we change system time periodically by 5-10 minutes jumps and http/1.1 client performs requests in infinite cycle:
[I] May 31 15:10:21 ndm: Core::System::Clock: system time has been changed. [E] May 31 15:10:22 keenetic_start nginx: 2016/05/31 15:10:22 [error] 273#0: *433 upstream timed out (145: Unknown error) while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.237, server: my.keenetic.net, request: "POST /ci HTTP/1.1", upstream: "scgi://127.0.0" [I] May 31 15:11:21 ndm: Core::System::Clock: system time has been changed.

To mitigate the problem we can use monotonic clock source (not gettimeofday(), but clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC,) for variable ngx_current_msec in src/core/ngx_times.c. As I understand from sources, it is used only for event handlers and this change should not affect logs, http headers, e.t.c.
Patch that we use to mitigate the problem is attached.
